- Who's really breakfast royalty,
the Jack or the King?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat groovy music)
Good Mythical Summer.
- Who has better breakfast, Jack in the Box or Burger King?
Oh you think you know
but you don't really know.
I mean I think I might know
but I don't really know yet.
- But what we do know is that both parties
are willing to do whatever it takes to win your allegiance
via Twitter.
- Yeah unsatisfied customer Christina Perez tweeted,
"Hey, Burger King,
I'm pretty sure you should be thrown
in the dungeon for this.
Thanks for the crappy, dry, crumbling biscuit."
- To which Jack in the Box decided
to invite themselves into the chat
by replying to both parties tweeting,
"Come on, Burger King doesn't deserve
to be thrown in a dungeon for a simple mistake like that.
Maybe a few days in the stockade
or a couple of hours of waterboarding,
but definitely not a dungeon."
What, they went with waterboarding?
- Dang.
Back in March, Burger King tweeted,
"Yo, we're putting everything on sour dough tomorrow.
Let's go!"
- To which Jack in the Box seemingly had the last laugh
when they responded with simply, "Do less."
- I love it.
Okay, Jack is clearly trying to play it cool,
but they forget that they're up against royalty.
So when it comes to breakfast menu items alone
will Burger King keep its crown
and Jack in the Box be one big joke in the box?
It's time for
Food Feuds, Burger King versus Jack in the Box breakfast.
Okay, we're gonna taste and compare popular items
from each restaurant's breakfast menu.
Are you hungry?
- Yes.
- And then we're each gonna rate them
on a scale of one to 10.
The restaurant with the most points
will be crowned the Big Boy of Breakfast
and will win a chance to sponsor a GMM episode.
- Oh yeah, bring on the brekkie.
(upbeat music)
Now we sent a Mythical Crew member out
to pick up these orders for us.
Stevie, do they have the orders?
- [Stevie] Bring, bring.
Hello?
Yeah, it's Stevie.
Oh, they're here?
But they haven't been here for a year?
But they bring?
Okay.
- It's very convincing.
- [Stevie] They can come out now.
- What?
You're telling me Dirk and Pattie are back?
Oh gosh.
- Hi, I'm Burger King Pattie.
- Yeah.
- This is your Burger King
Sausage, Egg, American Cheese Biscuit for $3.99.
- And I'm Dirk in the box Dirk.
Nah, it's called Jack in the Box.
This is your Jack in the Box Sausage, Egg
and American Cheese Biscuit.
And it's only $3.39.
- That's right.
- I see you guys are melding looks now.
How's the engagement going?
Congrats.
- It is so beautiful.
Things are going real good.
Actually, right now, me and Polly here are,
we're trying to get a Power Man 5000 cover band
for the wedding.
- Wait a minute, who the,
who in the Faith No More is Polly?
- Oh I'm sorry, Pattie.
Polly's just someone I work with at the box.
- Oh someone you work with?
- Yeah.
- Well I hope she likes
checking for suspicious moles on your back as much as I do.
This one's getting real weird by the way.
- No, she doesn't even do that.
- That wasn't my fault.
- I'm sorry.
Well, you were the one that asked the question.
- I was just being friendly.
It's nice to have 'em back.
- Hand me that knife over there, Link.
I know you can't really use it,
but you can hold it for a second.
I'm gonna make a cross section here.
- All right, so I know that Jack in the Box,
they crack all of their eggs on the premises.
Burger King does not do that.
- [Rhett] They outsource their cracking?
- [Link] Let's see if there's a bit of a difference
on that front.
- So basically this is pretty simple.
I mean we've got a biscuit, egg, sausage and cheese.
- And that biscuit, a bit flaky in a good way.
I don't know what to think about their sausage
when it's not with a croissant,
which I think we'll get to later.
- More uniform here.
- The Jack in the Box egg is not scrambled.
It's more of just a fried egg,
but again, freshly cracked.
- And the biscuit is not nearly as crumbly.
- It's more spongy.
Mmm.
- Hmm.
- Let's go back to Burger King and give our ratings there
and then come over to the box, okay?
- Pretty comparable.
- I'm gonna give on a scale of one to 10,
I'm gonna give this a five.
I don't know what to complain about,
but there's nothing really to celebrate.
- I like it and I would continue to eat it
but it's not great.
I'm gonna give it a six.
- Over here?
- I actually think they're different,
but I liked the flakiness of this biscuit,
but I like the sausage and the egg on this one
a little bit more.
I think they're kind of even for me.
I'm gonna give the Jack in the Box a six as well.
- I agree with your assessment
except the Jack in the Box biscuit, it feels microwaved.
Something about it is gonna put me at a three.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- Feel hungry.
Let's and?
- This is getting awkward.
They didn't tell us what these were, Stevie
so I think you're gonna have to handle that.
- Okay, on Rhett's side is Burger King's Eggnormous Burrito
that you can buy for $4.79
and on Link's side is Jack in the Box Meat Lover's Burrito
that you can get for $4.79.
- Eggnormous, Meat Lover's.
Oh wow.
- I need a better knife.
This knife can't cut through a burrito.
And I'll go ahead and cut this one.
- Hmm, so we've got some nice looking bacon,
hash brown, cheese, egg situation.
- Pretty nicely settled in there.
Pretty evenly distributed.
- That bacon is tasty.
- The hash brown is good as well.
- Yeah.
I love how it all comes together.
And there's
a little bit of a- - I think it's super salty.
- I think there's a sauce.
No, it's just salt.
Yeah, you're right.
- Yeah, it's a little, kind of overwhelming.
It's essentially like a roll, rolled up piece of ham.
You called that sausage but,
I guess there is sausage in there somewhere.
- I called the sausage sausage.
- Oh yeah I don't have it in my cross section.
I gotta take a big bite to get to that sausage.
Hmmm.
- That's good too.
- Both pretty tasty.
- A breakfast burrito is such a superior packaging
for breakfast delivery.
- Okay, I'm forgetting for a second where these are from
'cause I'm just trying not to let that,
I've kind of forgotten where each one is from.
This one, I like the addition of the hash browns.
The bacon was a little too salty, but it's still good.
I'm gonna give this a seven.
- I think it's great too.
I'm gonna give it a six.
- I'm gonna give this one a six.
- [Link] I'm liking this one a little bit better.
- It's a little blander to me.
- That's true,
but that's because they're salting you to death
because I think there's salt on the hash brown too.
So I'm inverting you and giving this a seven,
so we're kind of canceling each other out this round.
- Okay, that's fine.
(upbeat music)
- Hey, are you all caught up upon GMM and hungry for more?
Well Myth Munchers is back
over on the mythical kitchen channel
and they're munching myths like never before.
So tune in for good food and stay for a good time.
Mythical Kitchen channel.
- Oh Dirk, he looks a little upset.
- Okay.
Stevie, they're still not talking apparently.
- She threw the beanie-
- But I think I know what this is.
- [Stevie] On Rhett's side is Burger King's hash browns
that come in at $1.49 and on Link's side
is the Jack in the Box hash browns that come in at $1.79.
- So you got these little fun medallions.
It landed on my shoulder?
- Yeah, look at that.
I'll eat it right off of there.
- Okay.
- No I won't.
I thought about it but I didn't want to give you that.
- I love it.
It's so fun.
They're really crunchy.
- That's good.
The hash brown is all about the surface area
so smaller gives more surface area.
- They're little dippable.
- But there is something about the weight
of just an old fashioned hash brown.
- Just having the whole, I mean just a slab.
- They're both very good hash browns.
- I think the Burger king, they're more fun,
they're easily sharable from a practical standpoint,
but also I think the taste edges it out.
- A little bit better.
- Yeah, it is.
So I'm actually gonna give these an eight.
- I'm gonna give them an eight as well.
- Ooh yeah.
And I'm gonna give these a, I'll let you go first.
- I'm gonna give these a seven
'cause I think it's a solid hash brown.
I don't think it's that far behind these.
- I'm gonna give it a six because taste and form factor.
Mmm, I think we may have ruined a marriage
before it even started.
- [Stevie] Why did you go mmm before you said that?
- Because I was hungry.
- He enjoys it.
- I'm hungry and we're apparently ruining a marriage.
- Oh, did you see that?
Did you see what just happened?
Pattie,
she put the pinky out. - I can't bear to watch.
- She put the pinky out
and then Dirk slapped it away.
This is better than "Young and the Restless."
- [Stevie] Okay, on Rhett's side
is Burger King's Double Ham Sourdough
Breakfast King Sandwich
that you can order for $5.49
and on Link's side is Jack in the Box
Grilled Sourdough Swiss Sandwich
that can be ordered for $4.39.
- So we are in that sourdough territory.
- [Rhett] I've gone with a serrated knife.
- So just to compare these,
oh you got a lot more ham,
but you lack the bacon.
Again, they've got the scrambled egg at Burger King
versus the fried egg at Jack in the Box.
And there's two types of cheese on the Jack in the Box,
American and Swiss.
- There's a bunch of individual pieces of ham
and bigger eggs over here but how does it taste?
- So on paper, it seems like Jack in the Box is superior but
- Hmm, man, that's a good sandwich.
- [Link] Ham and cheese and egg.
- [Rhett] Didn't Burger King,
they kind got to the sourdough game pretty early?
- I remember it being a Hardee's thing first.
- Oh you're right, you know what?
- I've never ordered this
but now I'm tempted 'cause I just think
just ordering a sandwich where the meat is ham
just seems like something I would do at home.
- You see what they've done with the bacon?
It's just centered
right there in the middle of the sandwich.
- [Link] I don't love.
- I don't want to judge them just on one sandwich though
so I'm gonna bite that center piece.
- The sourdough is crispier.
The Burger King one really comes together as a unit.
This one is definitely more sandwichified.
- And also they crack their own eggs fresh,
but I don't care if this is some sort of like egg
that they just brought on a truck.
It's so flaky and big.
- Sometimes simpler is better.
I'm gonna give this Burger King,
I'm gonna let you go first.
I feel like I've been rating first,
but it sounds like we're on the same page.
- I'm giving that an eight.
- Oh wow, you love it that much?
- I like it a lot.
- It's better than turkey.
I am a ham man in a turkey world,
but we're not in a turkey world,
we're in a breakfast fast food world
and I'm just giving it a six.
- I'm giving this one a five.
- Yeah and I'm gonna give it a three
because I'm pretty disappointed.
With all those ingredients,
it should have been better.
(upbeat music)
Are they gonna talk now?
- They didn't even make eye contact.
Oh, now they did.
Oh are they gonna?
Oh they touched.
Well that felt like things were about to happen.
- Too much was about to happen.
- What have we got going on here?
- [Stevie] On Rhett's side is Burger King's Pancakes
that you can get for $2.99
and on Link's side is Jack in the Box Mini Pancakes
which you can buy for $1.79.
- [Link] Look at these cute little boogers.
- Now I feel like we have to go with the stuff that they,
oh they melted it for us.
- [Link] Oh, well I'm gonna give you that one.
- We got to go with what they've provided here
'cause syrup is part of the experience.
- And then just forget the knife, forget everything,
just eat it.
- Well-
- You know what that tastes like?
A fast food pancake.
I forgot it as soon as I remembered it.
- Yeah, I don't think I've ever had pancakes at Burger King.
I've had the McDonald's pancakes.
- I don't love this syrup.
It's not great syrup.
I was really bragging on the hash brown pieces
from Burger King
and they're trying to compete
with the same thing with their pancakes
which seems like a fun idea.
- These are even more fast food tasting.
- They're both like microwaveable crap.
- [Rhett] That's not a bad consistency for a pancake.
I'm just telling you.
It's pretty fluffy.
- [Link] We can both rate 'em.
- I think I'm gonna give this a seven.
I'm gonna give the Burger King a seven.
- I'm gonna give it a one.
I would never, I would never order that.
I mean it's just so boring.
- That tastes like wood.
That tastes like it's made out of saw dust,
not flavorful at all, too hard to chew.
I'm giving those a two.
- I am also giving these a two
just because they're more fun.
They don't taste any better.
(upbeat music)
I'm excited about this one,
but I'm also nervous about them.
- It's gotten weird.
- Hey so y'all probably didn't notice
but we had a bit of a fight.
- Yeah.
- But everything's good.
We made up.
We're all good again.
Anyways, here's your Jack in the Box Supreme Croissant.
It's got grilled bacon, ham, American cheese, egg
on a croissant and it's $3.99.
- [Link] Okay, thank you.
- And this is is a Burger King Fully Loaded Croissant.
It has black forest ham, thick cut bacon, sausage, egg,
American cheese on a croissant for $5.49.
I would like to apologize to everyone who's watching
for my emotional outburst.
I would also like to apologize to Rob Dyrdek.
That's what I named my hat.
- That's the name of the hat.
- Sorry hat.
And everything's fine.
We're good.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Okay, you're still good.
They're still good.
- I don't know how,
I think I need to go to counseling
because their energy makes me nervous.
You know what I'm saying?
They make me feel uncomfortable.
- I would have predicted
that Jack in the box would have been superior, but I mean
even in - Just look at the
cross section, man. - This round here.
- Now you are paying more.
You're paying more for Burger King
in pretty much a lot of these items,
but you're also getting significantly more.
- Throwing ham on there.
And it all comes together.
- And there's cheese twice in there.
Do you see that?
There's cheese above the ham and below the ham.
- It might be a little salty again, but with all of that,
- It's a fast food breakfast sandwich.
Less cheese, less everything.
- It doesn't coalesce.
- It's tasty.
- Yeah, this croissant is really good,
it's more buttery,
but there's just so much to love about this at Burger King.
They've really,
they've manufactured something.
- This is a solid sandwich.
I'm going with eight.
- I'm gonna give it an eight as well, I agree.
I'm not gonna be too hard over here with Jack in the Box.
- I'd say it's a solid six.
I mean there's not a whole lot going on there size wise,
but it's a great flavor profile.
- The meat may be trying too hard.
I'm gonna give this a seven.
- Okay, there we go.
- [Link] Burger King runs away with it,
78 to Jack in the Box's 60.
- That is a big margin.
One of our biggest ever.
Congratulations to Burger King.
